Love Letter
Love Letter
Surprised?
Only a piece of paper!
Perhaps, there’s no taker.
No, see carefully,
And not fearfully.
This is papa’s letter
Thinking of you, for you
Always better.
I tried, but couldn’t write
The tears flowed all the night.
And inscribed my love on this paper
Wishing for you always better.
It’s not blank, so don’t tear
Something is saying every tear.
When I was blessed with you, my life
I’m still unable to thank my wife.
I couldn’t forget anything,
So what, you forgot everything.
I still feel the warmth
Of your tiny fingers in my hand.
And the impressions of your
Little steps in my heart.
I still feel your feathery weight
On shoulders of mine.
I still feel you swinging on my back
Having my lunch and dine.
My son, you always delighted me
And made me laugh.
When you stood
First in the class.
You made me laugh even,
When you cried
On finishing last.
That you couldn’t run so fast.
Then I enjoyed your
Babbling beats.
Complaining that
They all are cheats.
Though grown old,
My body still craves for you
To run your toy-cars.
Where you found plain and hills
Highways, tunnels, steep rises and falls.
Which gave you joy and thrills.
O my son!
My legs are waiting
You to hug them.
And waiting my back,
You rode then.
Living for you and
Dying for you,
O my son,
I love you.
